Our copper sheet splashbacks are supplied as flat, solid copper panels, cut to size from new 1.2 mm copper sheet.
This page is intended for customers who want to purchase real copper material for DIY fitting, trade projects, or onward fabrication.
Unlike many products marketed as copper splashbacks, these panels are made from 100% solid copper — not PVD-coated steel or aluminium composite.
The surface will naturally develop a patina over time or can be polished to maintain a bright finish.
Please note: This page covers material supply only. If you are planning a bespoke copper kitchen splashback with folded edges, seamless runs, or made-to-measure fabrication, visit our sister company Metal Sheets Ltd where full fabrication and design-led services are available.
Why Choose Solid Copper Sheet?
✔ 100% Solid Copper: No coatings, no imitation – just pure, high-quality copper.
✔ Ages Beautifully: Over time, real copper naturally develops a warm patina, giving it a rustic and aged look. If preferred, it can also be polished to maintain a bright finish.
✔ Durable & Repairable: Unlike PVD-coated splashbacks, which scratch and cannot be restored, solid copper can be repolished and refinished.
✔ Easy to Maintain: A simple wipe with mild soap and water keeps it clean, while an occasional polish restores its shine.
✔ Custom Sizes Available: Supplied cut to your specified dimensions from flat sheet.
✔ UK-Made from New Sheet: Manufactured from fresh copper sheets, not offcuts, ensuring pristine quality.

Solid Copper Sheet vs PVD-Coated Panels
When purchasing copper sheet for splashback projects, signage, or fabrication work, it’s important to understand the difference between solid copper sheet and PVD-coated panels often sold as ‘copper-effect’ alternatives.
| Feature | Solid Copper Sheet | PVD-Coated Panels |
|---|---|---|
| Base Material | 100% copper throughout | Steel or aluminium with surface coating |
| Surface Finish | Natural copper surface | Decorative copper-effect coating |
| Ageing & Patina | Naturally oxidises over time | Does not develop a patina |
| Repair & Refinishing | Can be polished, refinished, or restored | Damage cannot be repaired |
| Suitability for Fabrication | Suitable for cutting, drilling, and shaping | Limited — coating may be damaged |
| Typical Use | Material supply for fabrication & DIY projects | Decorative panels only |
For customers who want the flexibility to cut, drill, or fabricate their own copper components, solid copper sheet provides a true metal surface with long-term usability.
Maintaining Solid Copper Sheet
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Retaining Brightness: If you prefer a shiny look, polish occasionally with a copper cleaner.
- Embracing the Patina: Allow the natural oxidation process to create a rich, aged appearance.
General Handling & Fixing Guidance
The following guidance is provided for customers fitting flat copper sheet panels themselves or passing material to a fitter:
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
- Adhesive Application: Use a strong adhesive suitable for metal bonding or secure with screws if preferred.
- Edge Finishing: For a professional look, consider adding a slim trim or sealant around the edges.
